Loh’khar the Finder

Loh’khar is a procurement specialist — he can often scrounge up anything you need in a matter of minutes to a few hours, depending on the size and rarity of the material. The tall Twi’lek is secretive about his methods and sources in obtaining equipment, and often explains his methods away by saying. “Don’t ask where I got it. If you have to ask where I got it, you won’t really want it.”

Many years ago Loh’khar escaped from the Twi’lek homeworld Ryloth, apparently fleeing some clan conspiracy working against him, or so Loh’khar claims. Through unknown means he acquired a light transport, and now journeys through the galaxy as a sort of traveling salesman, bringing odd goods from world to world and matching them with the perfect buyers. At times he settles down and works his procurement wonders from a fixed base, often near starports and busy urban centers where entrepreneurs, smugglers and bureaucrats crave illegal, rare, or expensive items they couldn’t obtain themselves. In each location he establishes a tight network of spies, street urchins, thieves and “buying agents” who help him obtain what his clients want. In some cases, especially when he is traveling. Loh’khar does the work himself. These days he also relies on a trio of Turazza — small red-scaled reptilian aliens — named Rizzal, Vizzal and Nizzal.

Loh’khar uses a combination of high perception, bribery and extortion when trying to obtain items. Sometimes what his clients need is within easy grasp, either through payment or thievery. Other times he bargains with the complex network of the black market — using bribery, intimidation and blackmail where necessary, and often trading items or information he has for materials he needs.

Loh’khar continues his business — trading items and information to suit his clients — profiting from the greater conflict created by the galactic civil war. Granted, some of his best customers are representatives of the Rebel Alliance — always in need of materiel — or the Empire — seeking shadier ways to accomplish their military objectives. But Loh’khar plays off both of them, betraying them only when profitable.

Loh’khar wears a gray tunic with many folds and pockets where he sequesters datapads and datacards, handfuls of credits and other information useful in his trade. His great black hooded cloak is almost always drawn around him, the hood keeping his eyes in darkness. He’s often accompanied by any one of his three tittering Turazza henchmen.
